Dielectric Properties of Porous Media (Springer Series in Materials Science) [Hardcover]

S.O. Gladkov (Author)

Book Description

ISBN-10: 3540001867 | ISBN-13: 978-3540001867 | Publication Date: August 5, 2003 | Edition: 1

This monograph systematically presents the fundamentals of theoretical and experimental research into the most important physical characteristics of porous structures. Non-standard behavior of certain physical parameters, such as the breakdown of the electric field of porous substances, is described. The method of calculation of the thermal conductivity coefficient of porous dielectrics, based on the non-equilibrium principle, is illustrated in detail. This approach is then applied to the investigation of the properties of "disparate" substances such as cellulose matrices, composites, and fibrous structures. The book is intended for physicists, physical chemists and materials scientists at research and postgraduate levels; it may also be helpful to engineers and technical workers in the applied sciences.

Editorial Reviews

Review

From the reviews: "‘Dielectric Properties of Porous Media’ written by S O Gladkov is a beautiful monograph, which presents systematically the theoretical fundamentals of the physics of the porous structures. This book is also written for basic familiarization of the subject of porous materials to the physicists and materials scientists. … This book is very useful for general readers." (A Ghosh, Indian Journal of Physics, Vol. 79 (3), 2005) "This book deals with the theoretical modeling of porous dielectric structures. … The book aims at drawing a physical picture of the various phenomena occurring in these materials, and is successful in doing so: after an accurate presentation, the theoretical results are discussed in details, allowing the reader to understand their essence. … This book should be appreciated by an audience of chemical or electromechanical engineers active in the fields of insulating material synthesis or electric power distribution & transformation … ."
